politics pandemic

In our world political hostility seems to overrule everything, obliterating common sense and collegiality in a crisis. In a sense, we have a “politics pandemic” as well as a medical one. The medical one is probably worse, but the political one isn’t terrific and seems to be spreading with rapidity. Also, they work together, reinforcing each other. The political pandemic helps the medical pandemic spread. As for the media, they are, if anything, worse than the politicians. We can keep politics in its proper place and not let it take over every aspect of our lives. That’s something we can learn during the pandemic that will reward us afterwards.
